This past year, Netflix and Dreamworks released the first season of Voltron: Legendary Defender to critical acclaim. Not only was this a fresh take on Voltron’s origin but on the Voltron Force (now the Paladins) as well. While the original series had all the awesome action, this one added a bit more character development, a character TWIST, and some laugh-out-loud humor. Those are just a few of the obvious reasons Dreamworks was able to announce at their SDCC panel that Voltron: Legendary Defender would be returning for a second season.
Executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery, and writer Tim Hedrick were joined by surprise guest Steven Yeun (Keith, the red lion) to bring the great news to fans. Not only that, if you are a fan of the show’s soundtrack, it is now available on iTunes!
The second season will pick up right where the first season left off, with the team being sent through the wormhole and sent who knows where across the universe. Along with the SDCC poster shown above, they also released this teaser image:
Either Shiro and his black lion are catching a “cat nap” (apologies to all our long time readers) or the team is in for a lot of trouble in the second season.
Voltron: Legendary Defender, also starring Kimberly Brooks, Rhys Darby, Josh Keaton, Tyler Labine, Jeremy Shada, and Bex Taylor-Klaus will return at the end of 2016.
So what do you think? Are you excited to see what’s next for Voltron and the Paladins? Do you think they’ll be transported to the “Voltron is 25 different vehicles dimension”? Let me know on Twitter or sound off in the comments below.
